NATIONAL BESTSELLER - The #1 bestselling author of On Fire shows us
how to recapture and harness our childlike sense of wonder in order to
become more engaged, successful, and fulfilled.
"Engaging . . . O'Leary encourages us to see the world through a child's
eyes."--Mitch Albom, author of Tuesdays with Morrie
There once was a time when we joyfully raised our hands to answer
questions, connected easily with others, believed that anything was
possible, and fearlessly jumped into new experiences. A time when we
viewed each day not as something to endure, but as a marvelous gift to
explore and savor--when we danced through our lives in awe of the
ordinary moments and eager for the promise of tomorrow.
Unfortunately, that's far from our experience today. Instead, we feel
disconnected and jaded. Social media reminds us that we don't measure
up, and the mainstream media barrages us with constant negativity. Many
of us find ourselves caught in a life of dogged responsibility and
mind-numbing repetition. The daily struggle to earn a living has caused
us to lose the sense of wonder with which we once greeted every day.
In his new book, bestselling author John O'Leary invites us to consider
that it is possible to once again navigate the world as a child does.
Identifying five senses children innately possess and that we've lost
touch with as we age, O'Leary shares emotional, humorous, and
inspirational stories intertwined with fascinating new research showing
how each of us can reclaim our childlike joy, and why doing so will
change how we interact with the world.
In Awe reveals how we can regain that ability to see fresh insights,
reach for new solutions, and live our best lives.
